Answer:

Requirement 1

High Point = March

Low Point = January

Requirement 2

Variable rate for tanning $0.41 per tanning appointment

Fixed cost per month $1,457

Requirement 3

Total Cost = $1,457 + $0.41 × Activity Level

Requirement 4

Total predicted cost for September $ 2,482

Total fixed cost for September $1,457

Total predicted variable cost for September $1,025

Explanation:

Requirement 1

High Point = March

Low Point = January

Requirement 2

Variable Cost = Difference in Overhead Cost (High - Low)/ Difference in Activity (High - Low)

= $2,810 - $1,744 / 3,300 - 700

= $1,066/ 2,600

= $0.41

Fixed Cost Component = Total Overhead Cost - Variable Cost × Selected Activity.

Lets Select, January 700 $1,744

Fixed Cost Component = Total Overhead Cost - Variable Cost × Selected Activity.

= $1,744 - $0.41 × 700

= $1,457

Requirement 3

Cost formula for tanning services

Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost

thus,

Total Cost = $1,457 + $0.41 × Activity Level

Requirement 4

Total Cost = $1,457 + $0.41 × Activity Level

= $1,457 + $0.41 × 2,500

= $ 2,482

mr Goodwill [35]

Accumulated Balance is given by :

$A=P\dfrac{(1+i)^n-1}{i}\times (1+i)$

Here,

n = time period = 30×12 = 360.

$i=\dfrac{13.45}{100}\times \dfrac{1}{12}=0.0112$

P = principal price = $250.

Putting all given values in above equation, we get :

$A=250\times \dfrac{(1+0.0112)^{360}-1}{0.0112}\times (1+0.0112)\\\\A=\$1221659.48$

Hence, this is the required solution.

During the current year, Cary and Bill incurred acquisition debt on their residence of $1,300,000 and a home equity loan of $200

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

qualified acquisition debt = $750,000

qualified home equity debt = $0

Explanation:

Qualified acquisition debt refers to the debt incurred to purchase or build your home. In this case, Cary and Bill are allowed to itemize the interests paid for up to $750,000 of the acquisition debt ($375,000 if filing separately). This limit was reduced due to the TCJA of 2017, and will remain in place until 2025. After 2025, the limit will return to the normal $1,000,000.

Certain amount of interests on qualified home equity loans will also return in 2025, but currently they are not deductible.

Assume that the labor market for retail workers is generally unskilled. If a minimum wage is set in the labor market for retail

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

there will be a surplus of retail workers in this labor market.

Explanation:

In the attached diagram the scenario is illustrated.

When the minimum wage is above the equilibrium wage it means that the minimum wage is above what employees are willing to pay workers. So employees will be less wiling to pay this amount.

There will be a reduction in the number of available slots for workers.

On the other hand workers will receive higher wage than they expected but since the slots for work are now limited there will be a surplus of labour in the market
